George's apartment. This date of Robin's is really trying to rock the Brad Pitt look, circa 12 Monkeys. ["He's actually played by Brad Rowe, who was kind of the go-to dime-store Brad Pitt for a few years back in the late '90s, available for gay comedies, crappy TV movies, and, I think, bar mitzvahs." -- Joe R] Robin tells him she likes kids, especially the little pudgy ones without teeth; you know, babies. Robin knows nothing about kids. She reveals she hates them. Or rather that she doesn't get them. George pretends that's not an issue at all. He says he's not looking for a mother for his kid, Doug, which will pay off later. They agree to take things slow. SagetTed tells his kids that on a different day that was definitely not the next morning (we see Robin in George's bed on what was probably the next morning), Robin faced her biggest fear. As Robin sits at a table reading the newspaper, George's kid walks in. Hey, it's the kid who tormented Marshall in Lily's classroom in the "Monday Night Football" episode! He hasn't aged much. Robin calls Lily to tell her that "it" is here and it's looking at her. Lily assures Robin that she can do this. The kid immediately lays into Robin for having a bird's name. Robin tries to read her paper. The kid tries to talk to her in Morse code. He beeps at Robin as he comes closer. Robin wants to kill him. He asks her to make him cereal. Cut to Robin and the kid arguing about whether you pour the cereal or the milk first. Count me in the cereal-first camp, although sometimes I will forego milk entirely to avoid arguments like this. Cut to a fascinating discussion between Robin and the kid about the newspaper business section. She calls the Fed a bunch of idiots. The kid says Lily taught him not to call others names. On this show, people are constantly calling each other names. The kid decides Robin is pretty cool because she can be an asshole.
